Proclamation 1105: Philippine holidays for 2016

With the year 2015 entering its last four months, Malacanang has already released the official list of holidays for the 2016. The announcement was made through President Benigno Aquino III’s Proclamation 1105, which was signed last August 20 and disseminated publicly Wednesday night.

Just like this year, there will also be a total of 18 regular and special non-working holidays for 2016. Aside from that, we also have two Muslim holidays that are observed nationwide – Eid’l Fitr and Eid’l Adha.

The Office of the President will issue holiday proclamations re this based on the recommendation of the National Council for Muslim Filipinos.

It is noticeable that 9 of the 18 holidays mentioned here fall on weekends. That isn’t surprising considering that there are eight long weekends this year and that 2016 is a leap year. In other words, holidays that this 2015 fell on a Friday will definitely move to weekends next year.
